Since I got up early today I decided to play some Resident Evil 5 on the pc in order to play something other than WoW. I also decided to go with the pc version first before I hit the 360 version. The idea is that I get to know the harder parts of the game eg the bosses before I switch to the slower control scheme.
But boy does this game make me woozy. It really hit the motion-sickness sweet spot. And the weird thing is, it gets worse when I lock down the frame rate to 60hz which is the refresh rate on my monitor. But when I unlock the frame rate it is actually playable to me, although i still feel the impact the game has on my motion sickiness. Isn't it supposed to be vice versa?
Anybody else experience this?

Went to see Avatar with my girlfriend yesterday and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good either. Here are the things that stood out to me.
The world is beautifully crafted, but I couldn't shake this video game feeling. The choppers made me think of Halo Wars. The part where thy go into the mountains made me think of Nagrand in World of Warcraft. The flying mounts also gave me that WoW-feeling, but that is probably just me and my WoW-addiction. And man do those Na'Vi look like Dreanai or what?
The plot is way too predictable, but I like the fact that the movie had a message to it's primary public: 12-15 year olds. After all things that are too predictable to us is fairly new to them I assume. That doesn't make the names Unobtanium & Pandora less laughable though. (
I really like the main villain in the game, he did a good job of making that character believable. And the last part of the movie was pretty engaging.
The part that resonated with me is where the female Na'Vi jumps in to defend the main protagonist wielding a dagger. That was a beautiful scene and a powerful moment.
It was a nice way to start our vacation and although the movie looked beautiful i find it is quite forgettable. Want a similar movie with good CG but with a pretty good storyline? District 9.
Gonna watch LOTR this weekend....again.

Last time I blogged about buying my new vidcard and I really love it. Everything just looks so damn good. That is absolutely the best part of PC-gaming. You can go back and crank all the games up to max settings to see what they look like. Gears of War on max settings looks really good. Halo 2...not as much. Still need to get me some points in both of those games, so I'll be playing them next week. Because next week vacation starts!!
The new WoW content patch dropped and that new Dungeon Finder tool is crazy addicting. You just keep doing dungeons and let that be my favorite part of the game. Gotta get used to the new rotation on my Shaman, since the new Fire Nova eats up a lot of mana, but really increases my dps. I am also getting my Priest geared and levelling my Druid at the same time, who can either heal, dps or tank thanks to dual-specs.. You can see that I can easily lose myself for a couple of hours in this game. Lets not even start talking about achievements.
I also played all the way through plants vs zombies and updated the Witcher so I don't need the cd anymore. Hopefully I'll play it more often now, because it's a good game. But there so much other stuff to play. Almost done with my first playthrough of Dead Space, but I mostly play that game during the daytime if I have some spare time. (which I don't) I only play at night if my girlfriend is still awake, because that game really creeps me out. Played through Batman faster than I thought and need to go back in to sweep up some more achievements. Also loaded up Left 4 Dead and TF2 every now and again.
So next week it's game time! I would really like to purchase Dragon Age, but I already have so much catching up to do game-wise. So I'll wait for the price to drop a bit. Buying it for the PC for sure.
Also purchased The Beatles: Rockband and man that game is awesome! It is also my first time playing a true rockband game after the first 3 Guitar Heroes. Being from Europe the original Rockband was just way too expensive. Then number 2 dropped pretty fast with better instruments which were nowhere to be found here. So finally they release The Beatles: Rockband, which has all the instruments I want and a cool game to beat. I went all out and purchased the Rockband Song pack 2, Rockband 1 & Guitar Hero Greatest Hits. And then the madness and overspending had to end.
Really looking forward to our vacation. Gonna play me some WoW and also try to get one more game S-ranked on my 360. At the moment the only games I S-ranked are King Kong & that Doritos game. Sad huh? I also intend to go through the full trilogy of the LOTR DVD boxset....again. :) Let's see how far we get. And there has been this Final Fantasy itch I need to scratch. Don't know which one I'll play yet.
Lots to do this vacation! Looking forward to it.
Oh almost forgot, due to my collecting I tend to lag behind playing games, but I recently got through Modern Warfare 1 and wow that game is intense. Already started it again on the veteran setting. And speaking of collecting, I passed the 800 mark a couple of weeks ago. Steam had some insane prices for some great games.
(PS: I just found out that they added achievements to Torchlight. Add 1 more game I need to play to the list!)

Today has been a good day. I finally bought a GTX275 and have just tried out Crysis proper and WOW does that game look & play good on the ultra high settings. Also bought Batman through steam and that game is awesome, They finally got the batman feeling down. So let's do spiderman & superman now? The steam is a little bit weird though, but the game is really good. Oh I also wasted 4 hours on plants & zombies. Sale on Steam = Fleppie spending way too much money.
Also purchased Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 since I couldn't help myself. (even bought the DLC) It's probably gonna be much shorter than MUA, but i don't really notice this since my play-time is very limited anyways. I do like the fusions and the new powers as well as the upgraded graphics. I like that the typhoon that storm summons when doing a fusion with Iceman or Gambit picks up all sorts of debris when you are guiding it around. Wolverine plays really well, like a beast unleashed slicing through everything. Been playing with an X-men team with Wolverine, Storm, Iceman Gambit and I really like it so far.
All in all it's been a good gaming week. Also got my hands on a copy of Fable 2, so I got lots to do. :)
Gonna play some dawn of war 2 to get that 90k single player achievement. Man I haven't touched WoW in a while. And I aint evne thinking of buying dragon age since I just won't have the time. Got so many unfinished rpg's laying around it isn't even funny anymore.
Looking forward to a good weekend!

I have been playing Dead Space these last two days and that game is intense as hell. It used to be that Silent Hill was more of the creepy atmosphere feeling and Resident Evil was the game with jump-scares. This game has both of em and it really works those terror-nerves. I am definitely no playing this one at night.
I just got this 360 elite with Resident Evil 5. And since my old 360 red-ringed and my old 20 gig was maxxed out, i can only now experience the install to HDD feature and it really cuts down the loading times on Dead Space. Going from 6-10 seconds to 2 seconds to start the game. And no more in-game loading with doors not opening. Also played through Shadow Complex and playing through it again for achievements.
I can only play these new games since i am still waiting for my data transfer kit to arrive.
Games i bought recently:
Monkey Island: Special Edition
Resident Evil 5 (got it with the system)
Streetfighter IV
Dead Space
And games on the way this week:
Ninja Gaiden 2
Grand Theft Auto IV
Gears of War 2
The Simpsons
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Got a really good deal on them, so I am very happy. Some of these games are still 60 euros or at least 30 euros.
AND: I finally hit 11k on my gamerscore!! At least on xbox live. Still working on the brewmaster meta achievement in WoW. (only lastst this week)
